To convert the percentage 12 1/4% to a decimal, follow these steps:

1. First, convert the mixed number 12 1/4 into an improper fraction.

- 12 1/4 = 12 + 1/4 = (12 * 4 + 1) / 4 = (48 + 1) / 4 = 49/4.

2. Now, to convert the fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator:

\( \frac{49}{4} = 12.25 \).

3. Since this is a percentage, you need to convert it to a decimal form by dividing by 100:

\( 12.25 \div 100 = 0.1225 \).

Thus, 12 1/4% as a decimal is **0.1225**.
